Default title

Academic Reading Circles (ARC) is a teacher-resource book that explains and exemplifies an intensive reading approach aimed at improving learner engagement with and understanding of concepts in non-fiction texts, like those encountered in undergraduate courses. This approach combines individual investigation with collaborative construction of knowledge. In the book, teachers are guided through an entire ARC cycle, including:

the initial introduction of ARC to learners;

the five ARC roles learners undertake when reading a text;

detailed examples of their use on a sample text;

classroom management and motivational issues; and

downloadable activities to further facilitate ARC beyond this book.

Academic Reading Circles is ideal for teacher use in pre-sessional or in-sessional EAP programs at the university level. The book is published with the round and available for mobile devices (PC/Mac/Kindle/iPad) only.
